Segment Operational Results - Second Quarter 2026 Power Segment BKV continues to make meaningful progress toward securing a long-term power purchase agreement ("PPA") for a portion of the capacity of its existing Temple I and II combined-cycle facilities. Through the previously disclosed advisor-led process, the Company remains engaged in commercial discussions with a select group of prospective counterparties as it advances opportunities to establish long-term contracted cash flows to enhance revenue visibility and optimize generation from its existing generation assets. During the quarter, BKV secured additional acreage adjacent to the Temple Energy Complex, expanding its site control to approximately 1,100 acres. The Company also received Phase 1 air permits for its planned modular generation, representing another key milestone in advancing the phased development of the Temple Energy Complex. BKV continued advancing development of its planned North Texas Energy Complex in Jack County. With approximately 6,200 acres under site control and generation and load applications submitted, the project represents an opportunity to replicate the Company's closed-loop strategy by combining natural gas production, power generation, and carbon capture capabilities to serve growing power demand in ERCOT. The Company's operated power generation assets currently consist of Temple I and Temple II, which have a combined generation capacity of approximately 1.5 GW. BKV has also entered into equipment supply agreements for approximately 200 MW of modular generation equipment and secured turbine reservations supporting up to 1.2 GW of future combined-cycle generation. If these assets are developed as planned, the projects would increase the Company's operated generation capacity to approximately 3 GW. Development of these projects remains subject to, among other things, execution of long-term power purchase agreements, financing, regulatory approvals, and commercial negotiations with counterparties. The timing, sequencing, scale, and ultimate composition of these projects may differ materially from those presented, and there can be no assurance that any specific project or generation capacity will be achieved. The second quarter of 2026 was characterized by strong power demand across ERCOT, which supported higher than expected dispatch at the Temple plants. Total power generation increased ~16% year over year, with the plants operating reliably throughout the quarter and experiencing no forced outages. Wholesale power prices, however, were below expectations, partially offsetting the higher generation. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Temple I capacity factor 69.2 % 64.0 % 66.9 % 54.7 % Temple II capacity factor 69.9 % 54.8 % 65.1 % 54.5 % Total power generation (GWh) 2,222 1,913 4,203 3,500 Average power price ($/MWh) $ 41.59 $ 45.10 $ 46.04 $ 48.63 Average natural gas cost $ 2.68 $ 2.93 $ 3.33 $ 3.47 Average spark spread $ 22.31 $ 24.27 $ 22.26 $ 24.00 Summary of Power Operations ($ Millions) Total revenues, net $ 122.3 $ 136.7 $ 286.9 $ 234.4 Depreciation and amortization $ 9.5 $ 9.5 $ 21.4 $ 19.2 Operating expenses $ 107.0 $ 97.5 $ 226.8 $ 194.2 Income from operations $ 5.8 $ 29.7 $ 38.7 $ 21.0 Interest expense, net $ (13.2 ) $ (15.4 ) $ (26.7 ) $ (30.8 ) Other income $ 0.6 $ 0.6 $ 1.4 $ 3.3 Net income (loss) $ (6.8 ) $ 14.9 $ 13.4 $ (6.5 ) Net income (loss) attributable to BKV $ (7.6 ) $ 10.4 $ 5.6 $ (6.2 ) Upstream/Midstream Segment BKV delivered another quarter of strong operational performance, with production exceeding the high end of its guidance range while development capital expenditures remained below the midpoint of guidance. The upstream business continues to generate strong cash flow while improvements in capital efficiency support disciplined investment across the Company's broader platform. Operational results benefited from improvements in drilling and completions execution, including the success of advanced completion designs and positive offset well effects in the Barnett, where modern completion techniques are increasing production from both new and existing wells. Together with continued application of data and analytics to optimize base production, these initiatives are driving capital-efficient production growth and further enhancing BKV's industry-leading low base decline. During the quarter, the Company also drilled and completed an Upper Barnett well that exceeded expectations. These results significantly de-risk ~50% of Upper Barnett development locations and reduce the expected breakeven price from $3.75/MMBtu to $3.25/MMBtu, further enhancing the quality and returns of its development inventory. During the second quarter, the Company completed the transition to internally market all of its natural gas production. This provides greater commercial flexibility and is expected to improve margins over time while enhancing BKV's ability to deliver energy solutions across natural gas, power, carbon sequestered gas, and LNG-related arrangements.

These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) attributable to BKV, basic and diluted EPS, net income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of an additional 25% ownership interest in and consolidation of the BKV-BPP Power JV as of January 30, 2026, the Company changed the presentation of its non-GAAP measures of Combined Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin beginning in the first quarter of 2026. The Company now discloses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV, Adjusted EPS attributable to BKV, Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to BKV, Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Noncontrolling Interests, Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth attributable to BKV. Such non-GAAP measures have been presented in this release for the comparative period and have been calculated based on the definitions below. Net Leverage Ratio The Company defines Net Leverage Ratio as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, divided by Adjusted EBITDAX for the most recent quarter’s annualized Adjusted EBITDAX (the quarter’s Adjusted EBITDAX multiplied by four). The Company uses this metric to evaluate total debt relative to the Company’s ability to generate cash through Adjusted EBITDAX. This metric also provides management with a benchmark of debt levels while considering growth opportunities and the Company’s ability to manage periods of commodity price volatility. The table below presents a calculation of the Company’s Net Leverage Ratio: ($ thousands, except Net Leverage Ratio) As of June 30, 2026 Total debt $ 1,249,841 Less: Cash and cash equivalents $ 168,259 Net debt $ 1,081,582 Divided by annualized Adjusted EBITDAX (1) $ 608,276 Net Leverage Ratio 1.78x _______________________________ (1) Adjusted EBITDAX for the three months ended June 30, 2026 multiplied by four. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to BKV and Adjusted EPS Attributable to BKV The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV as net income (loss) attributable to BKV before (i) net unrealized derivative (gains) losses, (ii) forward month gas settlements, (iii) impairment of assets held for sale, (iv) other nonrecurring transactions, and (v) the tax impact of these adjustments calculated using a 23% statutory rate. The Company defines Adjusted EPS attributable to BKV as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The Company believes Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV and Adjusted EPS attributable to BKV are useful performance measures because they allow the Company to effectively evaluate its operating performance and results of operations from period to period and against its peers, without regard to financing methods, corporate form, capital structure, or one-time events. The Company excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) attributable to BKV in arriving at Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV and Adjusted EPS attributable to BKV because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. The Company's presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV and Adjusted EPS attributable to BKV should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Other companies, including other companies in the industry, may not use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV and Adjusted EPS attributable to BKV or may calculate these measures differently than as presented in this release, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. The table below presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to BKV to net income (loss) attributable to BKV, the Company's most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the periods indicated.

This adjustment removes the timing difference between the settlement date and the underlying production month that is hedged. Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted EBITDAX Attributable to BKV, and Adjusted EBITDAX Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before (i) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, (ii) exploration and impairment expense, (iii) net unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives, (iv) gains (losses) on contingent consideration liabilities, (v) net interest expense, (vi) interest expense, related parties, (vii) equity-based compensation expense, (viii) income tax benefit (expense), and (ix) other nonrecurring transactions. Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to BKV is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX less Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The Company excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDAX. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Other companies, including other companies in the industry, may not use Adjusted EBITDAX or may calculate this measure differently than as presented in this release, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company’s management and external users of its consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies, and others to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and results of operations from period to period and against industry peers. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDAX is a useful performance measure because it allows the Company to effectively evaluate its operating performance and results of operations from period to period and against industry peers, without regard to its financing methods, corporate form, or capital structure. The table below presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income, the Company’s most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the periods indicated.

This adjustment removes the timing difference between the settlement date and the underlying production month that is hedged. (2) Non-GAAP financial measure, see below for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Noncontrolling Interests as the proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the BKV-BPP Power JV, BKV-CIP JV, and BKV-BPP Cotton Cove JV, our non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Noncontrolling Interests to net income (loss) attributable to Noncontrolling Interest, the most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ Thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest $ 1,524 $ 4,707 $ 9,293 $ (85 ) Add back (subtract): Interest expense, net 3,290 3,844 6,675 7,712 Depreciation and amortization 2,625 2,526 5,706 4,933 EBITDAX before adjustments 7,439 11,077 21,674 12,560 Net unrealized derivative (gains) losses 2,634 (2,046 ) (4,864 ) 1,217 Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Noncontrolling Interests $ 10,073 $ 9,031 $ 16,810 $ 13,777 Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth Attributable to BKV The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth as net cash provided by operating activities, excluding cash paid for contingent consideration and changes in operating assets and liabilities, less total cash paid for capital expenditures (excluding leasehold costs and acquisitions), excluding strategic power growth capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth attributable to BKV is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth, less Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to noncontrolling interests, with net interest expense attributable to noncontrolling interests added back, plus net contributions from noncontrolling interests. Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth attributable to BKV are not measures of net cash provided by or used in operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to assess the Company's ability to internally fund its capital program, service or incur additional debt and pay dividends. Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth reflects cash flow available to fund the Company's capital program, excluding strategic power growth capital expenditures, while Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth attributable to BKV further adjusts for noncontrolling interests to reflect amounts attributable to the Company's common shareholders. The Company believes these measures are useful indicators of liquidity because they facilitate period-over-period comparisons of cash flow provided by operating activities and the Company's ability to internally fund its capital program (including acquisitions), reduce leverage, fund acquisitions and return capital to shareholders. Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Power Growth attributable to BKV should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
